Can the GeForce MX150 run PHI4 mini 3.8B?

NO

3.0 GB vs 2 GB usable — does not fit

2GB · Pascal (laptop) · model file 2.5GB · mini 3.8B

~5.4–9.6 tok/s

computed roofline: 48 GB/s × 0.28–0.50 efficiency window / 2.5GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points. Small models (under ~4.5B) run BELOW these bands — kernel-launch overhead keeps them from saturating bandwidth (measured against community medians, 09-06).
